BEST EVER BUTTER COOKIES
From a package of Land O Lakes butter. Don't let the orange juice throw you! I just made Orange Drop Cookies (Recipe # 191691) which also uses orange juice and they were some of the best cookies I've ever made - despite the fact that I don't like fruit. I have yet to try this recipe, but it's on my list...

Tips:
- Use unsalted butter at room temperature to ensure even mixing and a smooth dough.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the dough, resulting in tender cookies.
- Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Use a combination of flour and cornstarch to create a soft and crumbly cookie. The cornstarch will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading.
- Bake the cookies at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
